Help with Plant identification ?
I spotted a shrub in Peterborough Central Park that i have not seen before
,It has been in flower for a while and is very fragrant ( smells like jasmin my wife says) its not the common jasmin that we know . Description The Branches of the shrub and leaves are very much like Philadelphus, leaves are lanceolate. The shrub stands at 6ft and looks old The flowers are small cream bells. Any help ,much appreciated . Mike |

Mine is lonicera fragrantissima and fits the description. There are no leaves now though. Pam in Bristol |

The message
from "Mick" contains these words: I spotted a shrub in Peterborough Central Park that i have not seen before ,It has been in flower for a while and is very fragrant ( smells like jasmin my wife says) its not the common jasmin that we know . Description The Branches of the shrub and leaves are very much like Philadelphus, leaves are lanceolate. The shrub stands at 6ft and looks old The flowers are small cream bells. I know the shrub - almost certainly - but can't for the life of me think what it's called. I'd need to look through a book of shrubs, and I guess you could do that a lot more easily than I could ATM. -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |
